T-Deck + cannot connect via bluetooth

Does the t-deck + support bluetooth connection from the meshtastic app? When I am on the app and click add device I am not able to find the t-deck +

Have you written the meshtastic firmware? The bluetooth name should be meshtastic-xxxx

This might be because WiFi is enabled on the device. Meshtastic docs indicate these features are mutually exclusive. https://meshtastic.org/docs/configuration/radio/network/

@wq7w If you're using the meshtastic firmware with the TFT UI, you actually won't be able to use BT anymore connected to the smartphone app.

For the moment, fancy UI needs BT API to work.

If you flash the standard UI you'll be able to connect it with BT to your phone I guess, but you'll lose all TFT UI advantages with touchscreen and everything...

You can still enable wifi and connect to a smartphone by this way as you can see.
